Hmm, perhaps it is the early novelty, but this album stands out more than any other post-hardcore/pop album put out this year. Yes, nothing new is attempted here and while listening to this album, you will hear the screaming, the breakdowns, the synth leads, and perhaps not as noticeable, you will hear the autotune engulfing the singer's voice but this is not a surprise, as any band in this genre uses it liberally. However, there is some unknown element that 3D possesses that raises them higher than anything. It ain't the lyrics; most of it revolves around relationships but there are some catchy lines that prove the lyricist to have some intelligence. It ain't the piercing screams. It ain't the sugar cleans, and it ain't the guitars...

'3-D' is an album that practically screams fun. The ability to mix multiple genres together and hope it works is one thing, but to throw them together knowing you can do something amazing with it is another. Backed with catchy synth, hook driven tracks and even better vocal displays from the singer and screamer, '3-D' is a refreshing experience. While you could take the time to sit and pick apart this album by each and every single flaw, don't. Sit back and enjoy what this band has done, you won't be disappointed.

What 3D all boils down to, in the end, is another 'Sumeriancore' album putting emphasis on electronics and cheesiness above all else. I See Stars, to give credit where it's due, possesses a tolerable clean vocalist in Devin Oliver. Also, throughout their first album, there's bound to be tracks - such as "Comfortably Confused" and "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World" - which contain some sort of interesting merit. But in the end, the Michigan-based band's 3D record doesn't have anything else going for it.

like bloc said, there's something about this album that just works. it's hard for me to think of a more fun album in this type of genre, and the amateurish production somehow makes it even more enjoyable.

There are a lot of good ideas on this album, and the musicianship seems to be pretty tight. rSome of it just came over as sickeningly cheesy, though - I actuallyd "Sing This!" rfrom my computer, because it kind of ruined the album for me. Anyways, there are some real rstandout moments on the album like the synth at the end of "Project Wakeup", and "The Common rHours", which quickly became one of my favorite songs of this genre.

A Day To Remember with keys! Man, doesn't that sound like the best type of music in the world!?
Just another silly scene band trying to be metrosexual, artsy, and "tough" at the same time. Give me a break.

I remember seeing these guys way back in the day playing schools and rec centers in the greater Detroit area. They have came such a long way. I knew they'd go places. And they will only get bigger. This album is amazing!
